The limerick that schools
Upon this day of fools
Written with ease
I do as I please
Regardless of the rules
A poetry most base
Rhyming with lack of grace
These words I write
May just ignite
To blow up in my face
Shared with Momoetry April Poet Month challenge – limerick
I think I associate limericks with childhood and uncouth rhyme. I also find it one of the easiest forms to write, perhaps because the rhythm is so familiar. Anyway, that’s why I consider limericks the ‘lowest form’ of poetry!
